HC Deb 08 December 1967 vol 755 cc425-6W
Mr. Russell Johnston

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many married women doctors are employed in hospitals and in general practice; and how many that qualified are not practising.

Mr. Ross

There are about 530 women doctors in the hospital service in Scotland, and such informaion as I have indicates that about a third are married. There are about 270 women family doctors on Scottish executive councils' lists, of whom nearly half are married. I have no information about the number of medically qualified married women who are resident in Scotland and not practising.
